Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Good quality food and atmosphere. Had meant to try the restaurant on previous visits. Glad we came this time. Pork Belly and steak dishes were both delicious and generous portions too. Good to see locally sourced food. They were very aware on allergies - good to see. Would recommend.

Excellent meal, friendly staff

What a gem in Keswick. The food is superb. Locally sourced and cooked to perfection. Portions are very good. A great choice of dishes on the main menu with specials too. The Sunday lunch is to behold, yorkshire puds like a chefs hat! Just go, fabulous place, but leave me a place.

As returning customers, where we had previously had a very good experience, we were slightly disappointed this time.

Hadn’t been to the Wheatsheaf for a while and was a bit put off by the same menu of old. But the meals we had were delicious I had the chicken burger, crispy, tasty and freshly cooked and my husband had the cheeseburger and really enjoyed it. Delicious chips. We both had the Affogato for dessert which was really nicely presented and delicious. Great service friendly and efficient. Great choices of wine. A great evening out!

We came for my birthday. Starters were lovely especially my halloumi which was simple but well presented and delicious. Unfortunately my main course was the opposite. I ordered the beef fillet stroganoff with rice and greenbeans. I did not expect the beef to be an intact fillet as I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked. The fillet was well done ( I would have requested medium rare) , the rice was an obvious mush so I left most of it, and the vegetables of broccoli and carrots were overcooked. When asked about how we were enjoying the meal I did say that I hadn't expected the fillet to be wholeand that for me it was overcooked for which I received a brief apology and was brought some sugarsnaps when I mentioned that there were no beans ( again overcooked). I forgot to mention the rice but it was evident at the end that I had left most of it. Had the restaurant not been so small and intimate I would have made more of a fuss as I felt that my meal was definitely of a poor quality and at the very least we should have been offered some kind of discount. I left feeling extremely disappointed

Excellent food, friendly helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere , will definitely be back

I like this place. The people are very accommodating, the service is decent, the drinks are cold and the food is good.

After making an advanced booking online we arrived to find that the vegetarian menu had been altered from the current menu, not updated online til very recently, so the choice had been minimised considerably. We were left in a position of having to find a meal elsewhere on the evening, which wasn’t ideal.

Wonderful pub, always great food and service. Never miss an opportunity to visit when in Keswick.

Delicious meal, beautifully cooked and nicely presented. A gastropub, rather than a local, but set in a lovey location not far from Penrith. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and service in a lovely setting. Can't wait for the next visit.

Really delicious lunch. Friendly efficient staff. Great location. Would definitely recommend

This lovely little resturant serves great tapas and pizza. The service is fantastic and you are made to feel most welcome. The Pizza with hot honey is my favourite with a good white wine. Cocktails are fresh , puddings looked incredible. Carnt wait to go back

Lovely restaurant, staff helpful and friendly and the food was amazing. Definitely be back on our next visit to Carlisle.

The atmosphere was warm and lively. The staff were lovely. The food was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the fish pie!
